2007 GMC Envoy Denali Problems

Owner-reported complaints filed with NHTSA, grouped by component

Data refreshed

Owner complaintsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

HEADLAMPS AND FOG LAMPS FAILED WHILE OPERATING VEHICLE

NHTSA ID 10946782 · filed Jan 20, 2017

LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS FAILED DURING DRIVING AT NIGHT NEARLY CAUSING A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. MANY LIVES COULD BE AFFECTED BECAUSE OF THIS WELL KNOWN DESIGN ISSUE NOT BEING ADDRESSED BY GMC. THERE IS A GMC RECALL FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM, BUT MY VEHICLE ISN'T INCLUDED. GMC NEEDS TO RE-EVALUATE THIS ISSUE AND INCLUDE MORE VEHICLES. THEY KNOW THE PROBLEM EXISTS AND SHOULD MAKE EFFORTS TO INCLUDE ALL AFFECTED VEHICLES. *TR

THE FUEL GAUGE SHOWS EMPTY WHEN THERE IS FUEL IN VEHICLE

NHTSA ID 11296845 · filed Jan 3, 2020

THE FUEL LEVEL SENSOR IS MALFUNCTIONING GIVING ME ERRONEOUS HIGH AND LOW READINGS. I NOTICED IN AUGUST 2011, GM ISSUED A SPECIAL COVERAGE FOR THIS EXACT PROBLEM, HOWEVER IT WAS ONLY GOOD FOR 10 YEARS OR 120,000 MILES. MY ENVOY IS 11-1/2 YEARS OLD, BUT ONLY HAS APPROX. 87,500 MILES ON IT. SEEING THIS IS AN OBVIOUSLY SAFETY ISSUE WHICH HAS LED TO AT LEAST 1 KNOWN ACCIDENT, I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THERE IS ANYWAY THAT YOU CAN HELP ME GET GM TO EXTEND THE COVERAGE TO MY ENVOY? MY ENVOY ALSO RECENTLY HAD A SPECIAL COVERAGE INITIATED FOR THE HEADLAMP DRIVER MODULE (HDM). I WAS ABLE TO GET THAT FIXED BECAUSE GM ISSUED THE COVERAGE FOR A TOTAL OF 12 YEARS AND 150,000 MILES. SO THE PRECEDENT HAS BEEN SET TO PROVIDE COVERAGE FOR A VEHICLE MY AGE. ANY HELP THAT YOU COULD PROVIDE WOULD BE APPRECIATED. THANK YOU.

AT 38,000 MILES ON THE MY SUV MY GAUGE STOPPED WORKING, AND RAN OUT OF GAS TWO TIMES. I'VE HAD TO KEEP AN EYE ON HOW MANY MILES I DRIVE AND FILL IT UP EVERY 250-300 MILES. ALSO I'VE NOTICED THAT SOMETIMES MY BRAKE PEDAL STALLS FOR A QUICK SECOND. I LOVE MY VEHICLE BUT VERY DISAPPOINTED IN THE PROBLEM IT HAS IN ITS EARLY YEARS AND TO FIND OUT THE THERE ARE HUNDREDS IF NOT THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE THAT HAVE THIS SAME PROBLEM AND GM WONT ISSUE A RECALL ON THERE VEHICLES. IT IS VERY UNSAFE TO DRIVE NOT KNOWING HOW MUCH GAS YOU STILL HAVE IN THE TANK. *KB
